Why does Rudy Guilliani act like a hero of 9/11?

The only reason he was on the street on 9/11 is because he put his disaster center in the one place all the advisors told him not to, in the Towers. He didn't have a center to work from so he had to be on the street. I think he needs to stop pretending he was some hero. The heroes were the ones out there saving lives with their own hands, putting themselves in harm's way. Those are heroes.
